The ‘Cutest’ Video on the Plight of Sharks You Have Ever Seen

Sharks have been around for more than 450 million years — even before the dinosaurs! Now, they are being threatened by overfishing, culling, and the cruel trade of shark finning.

Humans are wrecking havoc on our world’s oceans and are threatening 1/3 of shark species. An estimated 100 million sharks are killed annually for the shark fin trade, and this number is not slowing down.

Just recently, underwater cinematographer Shawn Heinrichs, showcased his project, “Tears of a Mermaid,” to raise awareness on the plight of sharks. He was able to get Hannah Fraser, a real-life “mermaid” and underwater model, to dance with tiger sharks!

In the above mini documentary, learn more about the great peril that lies ahead for shark species. If sharks were gone, our oceans would die.

This film may look cute, but it expresses concern for a serious issue that is happening now. Help spread the word and save the world’s sharks.

A new study published in the journal Cell Biology reveals that from 1999-2015, around 150,000 wild orangutans disappeared in Borneo. That is HALF the population. The causes? Habitat loss from palm oil plantations and logging, and humans killing orangutans for their meat or out of fear.

Glastonbury, one of the most famous music festivals in the world, may become a fully plastic bottle-free zone! The organizers of the event are working on a ban that would eliminate a huge amount of plastic trash from the festival grounds and, ultimately, from the landfills and oceans.

A recent study published in Nutrients by a Physicians for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) research team, showed that a plant-based diet improves insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function in overweight adults.
